Ok, let's get this show on the road
It's been an interesting summer and a warm fall in Red Rock but winter looms ahead and it's time to get this ol' RV to a warmer spot on the globe.
The plan was to get my affairs in order and start my fall migration earlier this year. A mid October departure seemed about right. November starts to get a bit chilly in Red Rock and I thought I might skip a bit of that nonsense this year. And I would have but things didn't go quite to plan and, well, here it is mid November again. Ah well, off we go...
Guess I'll wander southward until the spirit sends me west. I have no specific goals in mind for this winter much beyond spending time in New Mexico messing with my photography and leatherworking interests that got rather neglected this summer.

Proficiency in Knowledge of the World
There are all degrees of proficiency in knowledge of the world. It is sufficient, to our present purpose, to indicate three. One class lives to the utility of the symbol; esteeming health and wealth a final good. Another class live above this mark to the beauty of the symbol; as the poet, and artist, and the naturalist, and man of science. A third class live above the beauty of the symbol to the beauty of the thing signified; these are the wise men. The first class have common sense; the second, taste; and the third, spiritual perception. Once in a long time, a man traverses the whole scale, and sees and enjoys the symbol solidly; then also has a clear eye for its beauty, and lastly, while he pitches his tent on this sacred volcanic isle of nature, does not offer to build houses and barns thereon, reverencing the splendor of the God which he sees bursting through each chink and cranny.
Essay VII, Prudence Ralph Waldo Emerson
